Meteorite hits moon in largest lunar impact ever recorded - video

Astronomers capture the moment a Meteorite hits the moon on 11 September 2013 with so much force that a bright flash can be seen from Earth with the naked eye. The 400kg (63st) meteorite, travelling at 40,000 mph, punches a fresh crater on the moon's surface around 40 metres wide in what is thought to be the largest lunar impact ever recorded

What is thought to be the largest piece of meteorite found from the explosion over Chelyabinsk earlier in 2013 is pulled from a Russian lake. The 570kg rock is extracted by divers from Lake Chebarkul on the slopes of the southern Ural mountains. Scientists will test the rock to confirm whether it is from the meteorite
